Dazza Nautilus:It is a bit more complicated than shown above. What actually happens on 31st March 2010 is Mux 2 becomes PSB2 and power increases to 100,000 watts. MuxB is replaced by PSB3 at 100,000 watts ( the freeview HD services which are only receivable on DVB-T2 receivers).MUXA becomes SDN with a temporary sevice on C51. MuxC becomes ARQA on C30 and MUXD becomes ARQB on C49.Next year SDN will change to C42 and ARQA will change to C45 The power of the COM muxes will be increased to their post DSO levels at this time.

Looks like they've switched to Pennorth off Clyro and put it on Brecon. Also Dowlais is now on Merthyr Tydfil. SFN in place between Mynydd Machen and Pontypool and the five hop chain remains in place for Trecastle...

Anyone got any idea what's happening at Pontypool? For analogue it
comes from Blaenavon Link but I seem to remember that that is being decommissioned. Pontypool being both line fed and off-air from Blaenavon...

alan - Service areas are surveyed on the basis of homes/ Properties in a target area. It's a good job your not au fait with the technicalities because you can't just "push" 8 digital channels down an analogue one as it were... A lot of the Heads of the Valley relays exist because of multipath or "line of sight" problems with the main transmitter. These issues still exist, you can't move mountains but you can put transmitters on top of them was the old saying back when i was an engineer. There;s been a dividend review of frequencies so transmitters that are on the c/d grouping have lost channels and will not be reused. Hence why 3 channels are assigned to every relay.

In terms of the Aberdare problem, it's not a technical problem the Broadcasters were offered 6 channels for use at relay stations, not all but quite a few. They chose because of cost factors not to fund the expansion and here we sit today with 3 channel relays...

I live in Cardiff, close close to the uni hall at the top
of Penylan hill - I've lost BBC1, 2 and 3. I can see the wenvoe transmitter, reset my humax pvr (got the new software) rescanned, deleted channels, reset again, etc etc. Is there a particular channel number or frequency I should retune to? Or
Do I need a new arial?
Briantist
Friday 5 March 2010 10:36PM
LostBeeb: Is that a Humax 9200T by any chance? If it is you will need to wait until switchover is complete before it will work correctly.

You can use a manual add on C41+ (634.2MHz) for the next few weeks and then do a "reset to factory settings" then.

I get 100% stregth but only 0-50% quality when manualy setting c41 to 634200. - no channels found. The landlord almost certainly hasn't changed the arial recently, and I'm not sure it's pointing in the right direction. Could the Somerset transmitter be interfering? Do I wait until the work's over? Quite a long time without mi' licence-fees worth :)

jordy: i know its not as simple as squeezing 8 digital channels down the space used by 1 analogue, but that is in effect what they have already done. we lost the channel previously used by ITV, they then turned on 8 digital channels. so what is stopping them from using the other 3 channels in the same manner? other than the fact they sold off part of the spectrum!
as for line of sight issues that is not the sole reason merthyr is now in the situation its in. merthyr was originally 90% cable tv and minimal investment and it appears thought was put into its normal tv service. i've lived there all of my life and the vast majority of people in the town are using the transmitter in penyard. there are several very large areas such as the gurnos, gellideg, heolgerrig, penydarren, twyn, etc etc and all of these use the penyard transmitter. the other transmitters are ancillary relays. what's stopping them from transmitting all of the channels from the penyard rela?, thus allowing most of the population to receive the full package, and the other relays operating on lower power to prevent interference and giving them the lower service. if location of the penyard relay is the problem then it could have been relocated to a position that is visible from even more of the area. i honestly cannot see what the topographical difference is between mwerthyr and aberdare. both are valleys, both surrounded by mountains, both use numerous relays to provide the service. i'm not trying to be difficult here but i simply cannot see, considering their similarities, why merthyr has a substandard service whilst aberdare has the full service. IMHO the only logical answer is the initial funding and setting up of the analogue service in the area. in which case a suitable investment would have fixed the problem
Briantist
Saturday 6 March 2010 10:37AM
LostBeeb: I presume ITV1 was OK on analogue before the switchover?

Can you provide your postcode (box at far top right of the page)? This will show potential interference from other transmitters.

so in other words Briantist it comes down to money once again. labour have sold off the channels but are not prepared to use this money to provide a universal service. a universal fee (license fee) but not a universal service.
Briantist

All the public services are transmitter from all transmitters.

i still blame the govt LOL they privatised the network in 1997 (the year blair took over) so they are ultimately to blame
Jordy
Saturday 6 March 2010 7:33PM
alan - Since you're the expert - Tell me How much it would cost to line feed every transmitter in the Heads of the Valley.
Issue here is channel usage and spectrum space, every transmitter will use 3 in group frequencies, the parent transmitter will use 6/8 (2 interleaved) and in turn transpose 3. That's 9 of 48 UHF channels... There are 74 ish tx's in the valleys all rbl of Wenvoe and several are line fed. Such as Aberdare which by all account has a large target area to cover and is parent to several low powered transposers, i know i was on site not more than 4 months ago for the tx installation. Alan you need to remember that the public have aerials that costed money pointed at a transmitter site which is located to cover it's DPSA (target area), it also has to see it's parent for rbl purposes are there will be blank screens - And you suggest moving them... You really need to get real and think seriously and i suggest do a bit of homework on the subject.
On privatisation you can't blame the government for everything, the broadcast companies and content providers (BBC) could no longer absorb the costs of running a large network of 1,100 transmitters and meet their conditions for usage of the license fee. The network has to be privatised to sustain it and had nothing to do with Blair coming to Blair, it was on the cards from about 1988... I was still with the IBA at the time, Don't get me wrong there is aspects of privatisation that were appalling Once Crown Castle and NTL came in tore the budgets to shreads, cut man hours and made more stations lifeless and dependent on a phone line. The regulations went out the window along came OFCOM, ITV went to wreck and ruin due to OFCOM's lack of will and here we are today moaning about a 3 channel relay that will broadcast 25 channels. Life was simple when there was four channels...

should I temporarily try a different mux?
What does the plus on C41+ mean?
I'm able to manually select C41 I have to change the freq to 634.2 from the default value - is that the plus?
Briantist
Sunday 7 March 2010 7:38AM
alan: Probably worth getting your fact right first, really. He's the Act that created the digital television network - www.opsi.gov.uk link icon Broadcasting Act 1996 (c. 55) - so it was the John Major Conservative government that brought it in.
Briantist
Sunday 7 March 2010 7:51AM
LostBeeb: The "+" at the end of "C41+" means there is a small ofset of 166Hz on the frequency, making C41+ 634166, rather than 634000. "-" works in the same way, taking 166 from the value.
alan
Sunday 7 March 2010 9:54AM
jordy: members of the public shouldn't have to "do some homework" they should just expect to receive the same channels as their close neighbours. nothing you have said there explains why 2 neighbouring valeys, with the same topographical contraints receive wildly differing service.

briantist: i took my facts from here ( en.wikipedia.org link icon Arqiva - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia ) which states 1997 as the year of privatisation, and i blamed the govt (not labour or tories but the govt) and incidentally labour could have overturned the privatisation at any point in the last 13 years, they could also have made OFCOM force the companies involved to fund the work needed to provide a universal service. however you look at it the govt is ultimately responsible as they took a govt body and privatised it, they sold off the spectrum and they refuse to make the regulator force the companies to pay up. its exactly the same with broadband in this country, they privatise the organisation responsible, the new compnay refuse to fund the work needed, and the end result we end up with a 3rd class service compared with the rest of the world.

I have also lost all BBC channels since the retune. neither my 2 TVs or my neighbours can find the new channel 41 from the Wenvoe transmitter. I Phoned 08456 505050 to report the fault and they tried to tell me it was my TV, but 3 different make TVs on 3 different ariels - it has to be the transmitter. Digital will not look into the potential fault unless more people report it. If you are having trouble retuning into the BBC channels report the fault on the number above.
Jordy
Sunday 7 March 2010 5:43PM
Steve - Check or remove any distribution amplifiers, loft box's or a masthead amplifier (booster box)... The BBC channel's (mux) are now being broadcast at much higher power, this can cause amp's to be overloaded and result in loss of service. If yourself and neighbours are effected i would be looking for and removing these pieces of equipment... Also check for a PSU (Power Supply Unit) normally found hidden behind a tv or in the loft space, could be a simple affair of just switching it off and putting the input into the socket at the back of the tv...

I'm sure it will be the same for you, I know it's annoying in the in-between time and no one did this "on purpose".

HUMAX PVR-9150T - "no signal" from Wenvoe´s 100kW on ch41. First thought: maybe notched out southwards. Then I noted "quality" oscillate erratically from zero to 60%+. Tried the Woolybox : stable signal 100%, quality 97%. Other muxes from other txs are fine. Deduction: Humax front-end instability on ch 41? But it could be interference from other clutter in the shack, but which does not affect a different front-end. I might experiment further post DSO-2. Years back, I found something similar in my Technomate on a German sat-radio signal, which did not occur on another sat-receiver.

I re-tuned my digital TVs and Freeview HDD boxes on 03/03/10 to receive channels via Wenvoe but I have noticed that in the last few days I can no longer get digital text on Freeview Program 80 BBC News whereas I could immediately after the re-tune. Yesterday I re-tuned again and was then able to get the text on BBC News Channel but today it has gone again and no amount of re-runing will get it back.

Hi all, I followed the instructions... Autoscan got nothing, then I manually scanned C41, on the 2nd cycle (with Network Scan enabled) the default freq changed from 634000 to 634166 - a manual search on this...

BBC channels are back in the right places, but blocky, stuttering, unwatchable. BBC 1 just shows 'no or poor signal.

The signal detection page shows:
ch41 (634167khz 8k 1/32)
BBC one Wales
strength (63%)
quality (10% - 70%)
- both values dropping to 0% every 8 seconds ish

Brian, do I need to get into the loft to check for a booster box?

This is an improvement - Maybe they'll sort themselves out overnight - I haven't passed this on to humax yet

Any ideas?
